Established in 2005, the Omaha Film Festival (OFF) was founded to bring outstanding independent cinema to Omaha while providing a platform for emerging and established filmmakers from around the world.
Today, OFF has grown into one of the region’s premier film events, showcasing approximately 100 films each year selected from nearly 1,000 submissions. The festival presents a diverse lineup of narrative features, documentaries, short films, animated works, and Nebraska-made productions, including world premieres, regional premieres, and acclaimed films on the path to wider distribution.
Beyond the screenings, OFF is dedicated to fostering meaningful connections between filmmakers and audiences. Selected filmmakers are invited to attend the festival and participate in post-screening discussions, offering audiences unique insight into the creative process behind the films.
As a nonprofit arts organization, the Omaha Film Festival remains committed to celebrating independent voices, supporting filmmakers, and enriching the cultural landscape of Omaha through the power of film.
